Tank Darklight Armor.... Really?!

[Shioban]

Don't get me wrong, I never liked the look of the gear either but which would you rather them do, dilly-dallly changing darklights design or focus on getting ahead with the addition/adjustments of new content?

It's the same argument that came up with the White Mage AF body piece not having a /visor option, i'd be an extreme waste of time for such a small outcome.

Another funny note (not intended to be a serious one), would be that that tanking gear is the most /realistic/ in a sense, compared to some of the other gear in FFXIV.

I'm not even a tank, I'm just saying there's never plans to change absolutely anything that the community suggests.

It's not only about this, it's about a lot of other stuff too.

"They never listen to my personal demands"

You can ALWAYS suggest for changes and pray that they implement it, I've done the same many many times, but you can't expect that they will take your personal opinion and immediately run to Yoshi-P's office, printer quote in hand screaming "DORIN SAYS THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE YOSHI, QUICK WHAT DO WE DO", that's not how it works, even I accept that.


But your statement is completely false on one account, what was that tiny change community-feedback orientated change they made to this game, I can't quite place my finger on it.

OH YEAH. THEY REBUILT THE GAME FROM SCRATCH




Always consider that they have a lot of work to do, and their schedule works based off of;

•Hot/Bug Fixes for important changes (I.E Coil Bugs, Gil Exploits, Data Loss, Explotation, Errors/Bugs)
•Suggestions (UI Improvements, Graphical Adjustments, Background Music Looping Dungeons)

They prioritize based on what would take longer, what is most important and what can be done 'next' on the list.

They could just as easily make it like Celata Armor...but not this armor...I don't like the design, in lower level's I have to tolerate it...but to have to wear it end game too! when they have Celata's!

But seriously please allow us to color these sets, all sets every single piece of ARMOR, not accessory, should be allowed to be dyed. Please, pretty please with sugar on top.

this game need some good designed gears. nuf said >.<

The ugly Darklight wouldn't have been a problem if we had choice.

So please in future give us a choice of normal 2-piece that is realistic and equivalent in potency.

Example 1 - Unrealistic "choice":
Darklight iLv70 purchased with philosophy tome - 1-piece head+chest
New Darklight iLv70 chest drop in Binding Coils Turn 2, head drop in Turn 1
This is not a realistic choice because we wanted the iLv70 gear to prepare for Binding Coils in the first place.

Example 2 - Realistic "choice":
Darklight iLv70 purchased with philosophy tome - 1-piece head+chest
New Darksteel iLv70 crafted with philosophy tome materials - separate head and chest pieces, costs the same as the Darklight in terms of mats
This is a realistic choice as we can get it by doing the same things we do to get the Darklight.

I actually despise this type of armor, if there were to have another type of this, im so going to go to JP forum, and rally the other JPs to ask you guys to remove it completely from the game. :P

[Kelvani]

I have to add my voice here to the general din. As a Paladin, I find it sad that the BEST gear is the WORST looking. Ok. No plans to change it? Fine, but from this point forward PLEASE stop using that model. If you could go one further and replace it with a re-dyed version of another existing armor I would personally be thrilled!

In the future please realize that people LIKE to show their faces, and this stuff is just plain CREEPY looking to boot.

/visor works on Halloween pumpkin heads, AF and Myth helms, mining helm, and I forget what else.

The Darklight armor is so hideous. Beyond being ugly, I would never use an item that occupied two slots. It has got to be the most obnoxious thing to see that on gear. I was looking forward to crafting gear too. Yuck. I hope we don't see any of this in the future.

Am I the only one upset with the tank darklight armor in every way?

1. They did very little to differentiate it from the armor you get while leveling up; "just strap on two blades to the back of the head and were good right?"

2. It looks bad, really bad. They took the worse looking armor in the game and somehow made it look even worse! (Not that hard though to be honest.)

3. It costs too dam much because they are sold in chest/head combo and leg/feet combo. Its a lot easier to buy a piece at 495 than to have to wait till you get 1320.

This in itself is unfair and should demand a re-design to the armor.

We need this changed.

I have no issues at all whatsoever with the Tank or any Darklight at all.

thank you.

I LOVE the darklight armors, and my favorite is the heavy one.
